Title: Inflatable member for an endoscope sheath
Inventor: HARHEN EDWARD PAUL
IPC: A61F2/958
Filed: 2001-10-26
Granted: 2005-10-06
Abstract: Apparatus and methods for attaching and forming enclosed inflatable members on an endoscope assembly with a disposable sheath are disclosed. In one embodiment, an apparatus includes a flexible and resilient cuff member that is positioned on the outer surface of the disposable sheath and sealably and fixedly bonded to the sheath cover material at the cuff edges to form an annular space capable of being inflated. The inflatable member formed thereby is inflated through a lumen internal to the sheath that has an opening into the interior annular space. In another embodiment, the annular space may be divided into separate inflatable lobes. In still another embodiment, the cuff member is a flexible and resilient member that is substantially toroidal in shape that is positioned on the outer surface of the sheath. In a further embodiment, the inflatable member is formed from an excess length of sheath cover material disposed on the disposable sheath. A single reentrant fold of sheath material is formed with an edge that is sealably and fixedly bonded to the sheath cover material to form an annular space capable of inflation. In alternate embodiments, the excess length of cover material may be used to form members with dual reentrant folds that comprise inflatable members with single and dual inflatable lobes.

Title: Cruciform parachute with arms attached
Inventor: BERLAND JEAN C
IPC: B64D17/02
Filed: 2005-11-24
Granted: 2008-07-31
Abstract: An improved cruciform or cross parachute is formed by attaching the adjacent edges of the lateral arms to each other to form a three-dimensional canopy, when inflated, which is substantially square at the top and substantially round at the lower edge. The attachment of the adjacent edges of the arms are such as to provide generally vertical openings or vents through which air can flow outwardly from underneath the canopy, which form "corner air flow jets", thus allowing use of zero or near zero porosity fabric for constructing the canopy. Attachment of the adjacent edges of the arms at their outer tips forms a continuous hem at the lower edge of the canopy which eases packing and improves reliability. Arm air flow jets of U.S. Pat. No. 5,839,695 may also be included in addition to the corner air flow jets formed by attaching the adjacent arm side edges. Air flow from underneath the canopy through the air flow jets should be sufficient to achieve a degree of flight stability for the parachute of ±5°, or less, when using a zero or near zero porosity fabric for the canopy.

Title: System and method for tuning RFID resonant frequency
Inventor: MANOP THAMSIRIANUNT
IPC: G06K19/07
Filed: 2007-09-06
Granted: 2014-04-17
Abstract: P-WPDOC\M H\Speficatons\Droers Ay One\20197575 doc-9/5/2007 This RFID (radio frequency identification) resonant-frequency-tuning system is disclosed for use in RFID tag manufacturing. The RFID resonant-frequency-tuning system consists of a custom designed RFID reader incorporating a frequency counter, a calculation 5 unit, a tuning algorithm, and a RFID tag in which the tuning system facilities are embedded. The reader starts the resonant frequency tuning process by sending a specific command with an arbitrary tuning value to the RFID tag to configure its chip in-built capacitance of the resonant circuit. When the reader ceases the transmission, the tag responds by oscillating magnetic flux coupled back to the reader. The reader antenna picks 10 up the signal whereas the post processing system and circuitry measures the frequency transmitted from the tag being tuned. A tuning process is contactless and requires at least two frequency measurement points derived from two chosen tuning values to determine the best possible frequency tuning target value. At the end of the tuning process, the reader writes the optimum tuning value into the tag's non-volatile memory inside the microchip 15 respective to capacitance chosen. During regular operation, the tune data can be retrieved from the microchip at a start-up time to combine the chosen capacitance with the external antenna inductor to achieve the target resonant frequency. The proposed system and method renders a tight control of the resonant frequencies for every tag during mass production. 812 9- 7 --- 2 11Mod Frequency ControllerDe o RF1 2"-'xC, 2"2xCO C" Voc 1 5 -20- 2-_I _ 191 [ - ..o.
